Look, Up In The Sky:
The Amazing Story of Superman
This was a special on A & E(though abbreviated) that tells the
continuing story of the Superman character, both in movies and
TV from the first cartoons in the 40's to the Brendon Routh movie
Superman Returns and narated by Kevin Spacey! This is quite a bit
of fun! A
From a review at IMDb.com:
Originally broadcast on the A&E network, this excellent documentary
covers the entire history of Superman. From the early 20th century
comics to the modern-day television shows and movies, this Kevin
Spacey-narrated piece covers much of the Superman mythos. Woven
into this story was how all of this was affected by and reflected
the culture around it, from World Wars to 9/11.
As a Superman fan, this is a must-see. The A&E (and later in2TV.com)
program is 90 minutes. A full 2-hour DVD will be released on June
20, 2006. This viewer is looking forward to not only "Superman
Returns", but also the release of A&E's documentary. - LHartness
